So what are saying is that you that at your company, or the positions that you are filling, you just need warm bodies.What you are saying, bluntly, is that you are just building a social club where people are paid to sit around and be nice.

What is funny is that when someone asks me if Bob is good candidate and my response is that Bob's a nice guy what I mean isthat Bob is a moron but he tells funny stories. Sure I like to work with Bob, but I sure a hell am not going to give Bob anythingto do that in anyway needs to be done, ever.

So Garcia, where I can I sign-up to hang out with you and the Bob's?

NB: Bob is a fictitious name used so as not to directly specify any particular Fred I happen to be working with at the moment.

The simple answer is yes. Most farmers are as easily misled by advertising as most of us. MOST are making bad choices. In fact most of the Ag extensions in the land grant university system (U of MN, MI, etc) all have freely available hybrids that are selected for the areas growing conditions.Some farmers are smart and successfully take advantage of the land grant schools. Most do not, and most farmers have failed or are underwater financially specifically because the only buy pioneer/du pont/etc.

This is not what recent hires have told me. Do you have any (suitably anonymized) examples in mind to back up your assertion?

I would also be interested in the numbers *you* seem to have. Survey's put them at ~120-140 + benefits, which is the same as the other large companies in the general area, and only 10k more than areas where the cost of housing is less by 30k (renting) or 60k (buying).

And you can't just migrate the patches to latest kernel... because some the key peripheral parts (video controllers and audio/video encode / decode engines) are binary blobs. Grrrr like TI, NVidia, Qualcomm, Exynos(Samsung), RockChip, AllWinner, MTK, and Freescale. If you *can* forgo those parts then you can migrate to a recent kernel.This is in part because a modern SOC is just a collection of assembled IP and the upstream video [OpenGL ES] and h264 encoder/decoder hardware vendors in particular won't allow the programming information to flow downstream w/o NDA.

It is a *credit* score, for how well you handle *credit*.It is not a *financial IQ* score. That is what a *net worth* evaluation is.Note that you may score highly in both.It is up to the individual to determine which is more valuable and when.It sounds like you have do a fine job with your net worth but that does not directly translate into credit (how you handle debt).You may find may people who have very fine credit scores and yet never manage a positive net worth.
